Divine then opened: "Watch closely, my members, this is the symbol of our research!"
Light radiated from Divine's body, and the entire organization hall was instantly covered in white light. Around everyone, it seemed as though a "self," a mental self with simple colors and lines, had appeared!
"Oh my!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
"Indeed, indeed, everything is real! The apocalypse is real, the Metaverse is real too!"
"Lord Divine! Lord Divine!"
At the moment the card rose, these people's "Psychic" connected with that Artificial "God," and in their eyes, it seemed like they had entered a Spiritual World, able to alter everything around them at will.
Some even started rolling around or laughing madly.
[Cult].
Suddenly, two words popped into Tenjo Hikari's mind.
This state, rather than being a "Spiritual World," was more like...
another thing Tenjo Hikari was more familiar with.
The nightmare world of Darkness.
In the last chapter of the original "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX," darkness instantly brainwashed nearly all human beings worldwide. Countless humans were locked in dreams, experiencing or feeling the most desperate things of their lives, even having to experience it continuously and endlessly.
How similar is the current scene to the original?
Although as early as during "The Tyrant Neptune," Tenjo Hikari already knew that Darkness wasn't idle but was preparing constantly for the "end of humanity," even absorbing Tragoedia, Tenjo Hikari didn't expect that that guy had already extended his reach into this world.
Create an Artificial "God," and then infect all humanity in this way, ultimately leading them toward self-destruction...
"Effect of a Bright Future, activate by selecting two Psychic-Type monsters banished in your Graveyard. The selected monsters return to the Graveyard, draw one card from the Deck.
Return Mental Seeker and Hyper Psychic Riser to the Graveyard. Draw one card!"
Divine drew one card excitedly shouting: "Do you see it? This is our bright future!"
"I see no bright future; all I see is futility, all I see is you exclude one group from humanity, only to send another to the Graveyard."
"Hmph, clueless fool—then activate the Continuous Spell Card, Materialization."
"Once per turn, if only the opponent has monsters on the field, pay 800 Life Points to activate. Special Summon one Psychic-Type monster from your Hand Card. Special Summon, Master Gig!"
Divine, LP: 3550→2750.
A round, indistinct figure, barely recognizable as having a head—a gigantic monster, descended slowly.
Master Gig, LV 8, Earth Attribute, Psychic-Type, ATK 2600.
He raised a hand, pointed forward: "Monster Effect of Master Gig, pay 1000 Life Points, destroy opponent's Monster Cards equal to the number of face-up Psychic-Type monsters on your field! This effect can only be used once per turn—nevertheless, it's enough!"
"Pay 1000 Life Points, destroy your Prism Crystal!"
Master Gig spun around like a meteor hammer, smashing into Captain Crystal, and in the next second, it shattered, reluctantly falling to the Graveyard.
Divine, LP: 2750→1750.
"Normal Summon, Level 2 Psi-Beast, then activate Psi-Beast's effect, banish D.D. Seeker from the Deck, Level becomes 3!"
Psi-Beast, LV 2, Earth Attribute, Psychic-Type, ATK 700.
"Lastly—haha, when a LV 3 monster other than Psychic Wheeleder is on the field, Psychic Wheeleder can be Special Summoned!"
"Tune the LV 3 Psychic Wheeleder with the LV 8 Master Gig on the field!"
"Hehehe—hahaha, my heart is filled with surging hatred! Transform into black flames, burn this world!"
As he spoke, behind him, a gigantic Archfiend, seemingly real yet ethereal, began to walk slowly forward.
On his forehead, a green inverted cross mark resembling a demonic emblem began to emit foul black mist, as countless children suddenly lost their voices.
The colossal Thought Ruler Archfiend pulled various tubes on its body, wearing them like wings.
"Synchro Summon!"
"Level 11!"
His eyes gleamed with eerie green light, screaming with excitement: "Psychic End Punisher!"
Boom!
The massive Archfiend finally stepped out of the lab, and its shattered green wings spread like true demon wings, exuding a faint green scorching fire.
Psychic End Punisher, LV 11, Light Attribute, Psychic-Type, ATK 3500.
"Aah!!!"
"Finally, finally, it's a success!!"
Countless Psychic Users jubilantly rejoiced, as if they were also part of the Artificial God—ahh, if so, why not let them enjoy it this way?
Psychic End Punisher flapped its wings, and countless green currents descended from the sky, linking to those Psychic Users.
"Great, I've finally transcended others!"
"I'll show those nobles who look down on me..."
"Mom, your child has finally stood out—"
Initially, they were excited.
But quickly, they realized something was wrong.
"Ahhh—my brain!"
"Divine, Lord Divine, my Spiritual Power... "
"What's going on, ahhh!!"
They were like charred wood, touched by the green currents, and soon they sensed the wave of Spiritual Power. Even as Psychic Users, they were quickly devoured by the Archfiend, transforming into innumerable, imperceptible "ordinary fragments."
